Chapter 8 - 8. WE NEED YOU.

It's been 200 years after the Star fell. Nowadays years was calculated using ATS an abbreviation for After the Star.

The whole world was celebrating the 2nd Century of their survival. The systems of this world was somehow similar to 200 years ago.

They used the currency called credits. Foodstuffs had become a little expensive but scientifically grown ones where cheap.

People still had preferences over such things.

In a street of Area 100 Sirens kept going off.

"This is the police, you have been surrounded. Let out the hostages and we can talk." A police officer said through the megaphone. Some of the police men had StarPower but if it was strong they were recruited into the Agency or the Army.

In a bank, were a group of people terrorized by three men. Their leader was an Esper. The rest were normal people they had masked on.

Their leader had intentionally called the police. He wanted to make a name for himself. He had a ahead and planted bombs that were in sync with his ability. He could talk to machines therefore he designed the bombs in a way that only his ability could turn it on. He could activate the bombs as long as he was 20 feet within the area of the machine.

"Hello Officer." the Bomber used his ability to talk through the Officer's comm.

"Be quiet and listen to me. All I need from you is for you and your squad to back off. It's only after this will I let them go."

This confused the police men. He only needed them to back off. Most people wanted a luxurious house in Area 001, a room filled with the most prettiest lady on the planet and a whole lot of nonsense.

All this while Zero and Rez were preparing. The Agency had a bio on the Bomber his real name was Tom Vav. They already knew his ability after he had bragged about it to the local police men of one Area before he got away.

The Captain understood the whole situation. He knew the was no bullet faster than the human mind and even if he had Port move them to inside the building he would risk the whole squad to an explosion.

The only way was for Rez to stop the guy from using his power. This was Rez first official mission, he had been made to sign a contract saying that he wouldn't hold the Agency responsible in case of any accident. It wasn't like they were forcing him to do this.

Rez was given a suit, it was a little tight but moving was not as difficult as he imagined. They explained everything to Rez and went rolling out.

In a few minutes, the whole squad was at the site. The plan was that Zero was going to go inside through teleportation. Port was in charge for that. Zero would wait for the signal that is, wait for Rez to suppress the guys ability. That was the only time he was too move.

Rez got a little bit close to the building, the building was in Rez's range so activating his power wasn't a problem. Rez couldn't see through walls but he could feel everyone when he activated his power.

If someone was using their power the light or fire in them started burning. That is too say Rez didn't see things normally when he activated his powers.

That is too say Rez didn't see things normally when he activated his powers. He could sense people who had powers this gave him a free pass to the Spidey senses lessons.

Rez got close to the building, his hands were cold he was nervous.

"Ok, here we go."

Suppress! Rez activated his power there were three guys he could sense through out the building standing. Among them only one had an ability so guessing his target was easy.

Rez's ability range has increased quite a bit after too much use in training.

Rez stopped his power "Now!".

Just then the robber felt a little strange. He tried talking to the police officer through the comm but he couldn't. Right then his face turned grim but before he could issue any other command to his accomplices, he felt a very sharp pain in the face. His accomplices after seeing their leader go down started shooting in his direction.

The people in the room started screaming. Though some of them powers they had been made to understand that a mistake could lead to an explosion. They didn't want to Risk that.

Outside the bank, families of people inside were scared. The door suddenly and three guys were three outside. They had been made to were a special color that prevented them from using their ability.

This was different from the tranquilizers. Rez first time of seeing this. 'The elite Areas never failed to impress huh.' he thought to himself.

The people started coming out that was when Zero revealed himself. The police started clapping.

"No, no, I'm not the real hero today."

Zero said modestly.

Boom! The building suddenly exploded. The force forced Zero to the ground. Rez was standing by the team so he was far from danger. Fortunately, everyone had evacuated when this happened but those close to the building had suffered a little injury.

Zero stood up, the medical team rushed to help those who were hurt. The robbers leader Tom was awoke, it seems the Captain waked him up and questioned him. He didn't know what had happened he wasn't the one who made those explosive explode.

Far off from the site where the explosion exploded there were two men on the roof.

"Aww sooo close, I didn't know it took a while for the bombs to go off." A brown haired guy said.

"Let's go Darmian. Today has been a long busy day." The brown haired man said.

Darmian stood up. His hair was white and had a black dress with a scorpion sigil behind it.

This was the beginning of a whole new chapter of Rez's life
